I am having a problem keeping steady temps using Kingsford Briquettes with my Weber kettle grill and even my UDS. I am even wondering if this is "my" problem or could this be "our" problem (one we all have).
I use the Weber chimney to start the coals, dump them in the Weber kettle and wait for the temp to stabilize. I begin to cook at approx. 300 - 350 and within an hour the temps fall to around 200 and stay put. I usually keep the bottom vent 1/2 open but when I see the temp falling I open it to full with no results; the top vent is always wide open. Only when I 'shake' the hot briquettes do the temps begin to rise. This occurs no matter if the coals are scattered or in a pile.
When using my UDS and the firebox the same problems occur.
I have tried my old bags of briiquettes and even bought a new bag for tonights cook---the same results.
Can anyone offer me some advice.
Thanks
